May 2024 results

This years President Cup was no different from the past as the fish take the day off. Bill Mackintosh had 18 register at IBSP and there were no fish caught. Carl Hartman had 6 register at LBI and we have a winner this year. A congratulations is in order for Paul Karner #5481 for winning this year's Presidents Cup! Paul caught a 17-inch Tog to win, nice job Paul! Paul will receive a NJBBA jacket with the title " 2024 Presidents Cup Winner " and a new fishing reel which will be presented at our Annual Banquet on March 8, 2025. In the past we had fisherman compete on Brigantine and Corson’s inlet, there hasn't been an interest in those areas lately. If anyone would like to fish the Presidents Cup in Brigantine or Corson’s inlet or be able to chair the event at those places by taking registration and such, please get in touch for next year.
